Baltimore Cattle Market.
BALTIMORE, October 90.
AT CALVERTON YARDS.
BEEF CATTLE-There was large offer
ing Of Cattle to-day, but their quality did
not average very high, tops being offered
in rather limited numbers, the larger por-
ton of the Cattle being stockers, some
very neat ones, and trade throughout was
slow. Baltimore butchers bought nearly
as many as last week, but country dealers
not half as many, owing to a temporary
trouble az to shipping them to their deSti-
nation. Tops sold as high as last week

al 90 per 100 lbs.

generally rated as first quality So 00a3 rs;
